In this course, students examine what people eat and how, considering how food systems are shaped by (and in turn shape) culture. Each day, people around the world ask the same question: "What's for dinner?" But how people have chosen to answer this question, how they have satisfied the basic biological need to eat, and the relationships that they have established with their food has varied from society to society across time. Students discuss what we must eat, what we can eat, and what we will not consider eating at all. They are guided to reflect not only on food and foodways across cultures, but also on their own relationships to food.
